Regulating vehicle sharing systems through parking reservation policies: Analysis and performance bounds
: We study the regulation of one-way vehicle sharing systems through parking reservation policies. We measure the performance of these systems in terms of the total excess travel time of all users caused due to shortages of vehicles or parking spaces. We devise mathematical programming based bounds on the total excess travel time of vehicle sharing systems under any passive regulation and in particular under any parking space reservation policy. These bounds are compared to the performance of several partial parking reservation policies, a parking space overbooking policy, as well as the complete parking reservation (CPR) policy and the noreservation (NR) policy that were introduced in a previous paper. A detailed user behavior model for each policy is presented and a discrete event simulation is used to evaluate the performance of the system under various settings. The analysis of two case studies of real-world systems demonstrates that: (1) a significant improvement of what theoretic...
